Triple R Pets is dedicated to helping the outside cats, both ferals and strays,
both adults and kittens, to live safer, healthier lives. Our long term goal is
to reduce the number of unwanted kittens born outside, thus reducing the
rate of euthanization of cats / kittens in shelters nationwide.

A few reminders as we head into the Winter and Off-Season for TNR Work:

November 1 – Last day to submit a TNR request. All requests received after November 1 will be held for response / action next season (dictated by weather, but usually around March)

November 7 – Last day for transport for TNR surgeries by a Triple R Pets’ volunteer

November 20 – All TNR projects should be completed

November 30 – All traps must be returned to Triple R Pets

Please note that low cost clinics will be open all year and caretakers can trap and transport feral cats to those clinics. However, please remember that a spayed female cat will have the abdominal area shaved and that fur takes two months to grow back. A cat spayed in November will have little fur on her stomach to protect against the freezing cold and snow / ice in December and January.

TNR (Trap/Neuter/Return) is the humane method used to reduce the population of feral cats. Feral cats are humanely trapped, taken to a veterinarian for spay/neuter surgery, and then returned to the place where they were trapped to live safer, healthier lives with assistance from the caretaker who TNR’d them.

Triple R Pets provides education, traps, and guidance on how to help the cats. To get started, you will need to complete a TNR Assistance Request and attend one of our TNR workshops where we will loan you traps and show you how to use them to trap and transport the cats to low-cost spay/neuter clinics.

Please note that Triple R Pets does not accept cats for adoption nor are we able to relocate feral cats. Our resources are used for TNR, the way we believe we can help the greatest number of cats. If you have a question about adoption, contact the shelters listed here.
